Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three bids only one of which may result in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held in escrow by the Auction Agent, an Assignment and Assumption with the dollar amount of the Term Loans to be assigned to be left in blank, which amount shall be completed by the Auction Agent in accordance with the final determination of such Lender’s Qualifying Bid pursuant to clause (c) below. Any Lender whose Return Bid is not received by the Auction Agent by the Auction Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to participate in the relevant Auction with respect to all of its Term Loans.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.2 and of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing.
(b) Subject to Section 2.3(a), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the designated account of the Agent in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, not later than 2:00 p.m., Philadelphia time, and the Agent shall by 3:00 p.m., Philadelphia time, wire transfer the amounts so received to the designated account of the Borrower or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender's portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (b) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Referral Procedures Section 1. For Local Unions now having a job referral system as contained in their Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Contractor agrees to utilize such system and it shall be used exclusively by such Contractor, except as it may be modified by this Article. Referrals shall not be affected by obligations of Union membership or the lack thereof. Where airport security clearance requirements apply to work to be performed, the Contractor shall inform the Union’s hiring hall dispatcher of those requirements when requesting workers.
Section 2. In the event that Local Unions are unable to fill any request for employees within the time specified by the local CBAs the Contractor may employ applicants from any other available source. The Contractor shall inform the Union of the name and social security number of any applicants hired from other sources and shall refer the applicant to the Local Union for dispatch to the projects prior to the commencement of work.
Section 3. There shall be no discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment because of his/her membership or non-membership in the union or based upon race, creed, color, sex, age or national origin, or any other legally protected class of such employee or applicant.
Section 4. No employee covered by this Agreement shall be required to join any Union as a condition of being employed on the project; provided, however, that an employee who is a member of the referring union at the time of the referral shall maintain that membership while employed under the Agreement. All employees shall, however, be required to comply with the union security provision of the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement, for the period during which they are performing on-site work, except as modified by this Agreement. The Contractor agrees to deduct union dues or representation fees, whichever is applicable, from the pay of any employee who executes a voluntary authorization for such deductions and to remit the dues to the Union or Council.
Section 5. The parties agree that where a Contractor is not party to a current Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Union having jurisdiction over the affected work, the Contractor may request by name, and the Local will honor, referral of up to a maximum of five (5) persons per each contractor (“core” employees), provided that the Contractor first demonstrate that those persons possess the following qualifications:
(1) Any license required by state or federal law for the project work to be performed;
(2) Have worked a total of at least one thousand (1,000) hours in the construction craft during the prior three (3) years;
(3) Were on the Contractor’s active payroll for at least sixty (60) out of the one hundred eighty (180) calendar days prior to the contract award;
(4) Have the ability to perform the work safely. The Contractor may elect to hire its first “core” employee to be a xxxxxxx. After the contractor hires his first core employee, the Union will refer to such contractor one journeyman employee from the hiring hall out-of–work list for the affected trade or craft, then refer one of such Contractor’s “core” employees as a journeyman, and shall, alternate, one core employee and one employee from the out-of-work list, until such Contractor’s crew requirements are met or until such Contractor has hired five (5) “core” employees, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, all additional employees in the affected trade or craft shall be hired exclusively from the hiring hall out-of-work list(s). For the duration of the Contractor’s work the ratio of “core” employees to hiring hall referrals shall be maintained and when the Contractor’s workforce is reduced, employees shall be reduced in the same ratio as was applied in the initial hiring. All employees, core and union, shall be dispatched from the appropriate union. Trust benefits shall be paid on all employees, core and union.
Section 6. Upon referral or dispatch from a Union, “turnaround” or refusal of any worker by the Contractors, requires written explanation from the Contractor that shall be communicated from the Prime Contractor to the Port and affected Union within 48 hours.
Section 7. Individual seniority will not be recognized or applied to employees working on the project. This provision will not interfere with or supersede the use by individual Contractors of “call lists” maintained by such Contractor pursuant to addenda to the local Collective Bargaining Agreement between such Contractor and a Union signatory to this Agreement.
Section 8. The selection of craft foremen and/or general foremen and the number of such foremen and/or general foremen required shall be entirely the responsibility of the Contractor. Craft foremen shall be designated working foremen at the request of the Contractor. Craft workers covered by this Agreement will, in the normal day- to-day operations, take their direction and supervision from their xxxxxxx.
Election Procedures Each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (“Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article III, to submit an election with respect to the shares of Company Virginia Sub Common Stock to be received by such holder in the Reincorporation Merger in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) Each Holder may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1 (herein called an “Election”) (i) the number of shares of Company Virginia Sub Common Stock to be owned by such Holder as a result of the Reincorporation Merger with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Share Election and (ii) the number of shares of Company Virginia Sub Common Stock to be owned by such Holder as a result of the Reincorporation Merger with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Cash Election.
(b) Parent shall prepare a form reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Form of Election”) which shall be mailed to record holders of Company Common Stock so as to permit those holders to exercise their right to make an Election prior to the Election Deadline.
(c) Parent shall make the Form of Election initially available not less than twenty (20) business days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline and shall use all reasonable efforts to make available as promptly as possible a Form of Election to any stockholder of the Company who requests such Form of Election following the initial mailing of the Forms of Election and prior to the Election Deadline. The Form of Election shall contain instructions for effecting the surrender of Company Certificates (which, following the Reincorporation Merger shall represent Company Virginia Sub Common Stock) in exchange for receipts representing the Parent ADSs, as well as the Cash Consideration and cash in lieu fractional shares and, if any Holder so elects and subject to the proviso to the last sentence of Section 2.4(a)(iv), Parent Ordinary Shares in account entry form in lieu of Parent ADSs.
(d) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the person authorized to receive Elections and to act as exchange agent under this Agreement, which person shall be a bank or trust company selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), pursuant to an agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) entered into prior to the mailing of the Form of Election to Company stockholders, shall have received, by the Election Deadline, a Form of Election properly completed and signed and accompanied by Company Certificate(s) (which, following the Reincorporation Merger shall represent Company Virginia Sub Common Stock) to which such Form of Election relates or by an appropriate customary guarantee of delivery of such certificates, as set forth in such Form of Election, from a member of any registered national securities exchange or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States; provided, that such Company Certificates are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent by the time required in such guarantee of delivery. Failure to deliver shares of Company Common Stock covered by such a guarantee of delivery within the time set forth on such guarantee shall be deemed to invalidate any otherwise properly made Election, unless otherwise determined by Parent, in its sole discretion. As used herein, unless otherwise agreed in advance by the parties, “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. local time (in the city in which the principal office of the Exchange Agent is located) on the date that Parent and the Company shall agree is as near as practicable to five (5) business days prior to the expected Closing Date. Parent and the Company shall cooperate to issue a press release reasonably satisfactory to each of them announcing the date of the Election Deadline not more than twenty (20) business days before, and at least ten (10) business days prior to, the Election Deadline.
